WE  have  endeavored  to  make  this 
book  an  object  of  beauty,  as  well 
as  of  utility.  We  have  sought  to  show 
Strathmore  papers  in  the  best  manner, 
and  to  emphasize  their  value  in  the  pro- 
duction of  fine  printing.  One  who  has 
not  undertaken  a  similar  task  cannot  ap- 
preciate the  amount  of  labor  and  cost  it 
involves.  It  is  offered  to  the  trade,  to 
printers,  to  publishers,  and  to  advertisers 
in  the  hope  that  it  may  be  useful  to  them, 
and  that  it  will  give  them  pleasure  as  a 
worthy  example  of  paper-making,  print- 
ing, and  book-making. 

We  ask  that  it  be  accepted  with  our 
compliments.  Do  not  mutilate  it.  Ask 
your  dealer,  or  ask  us,  for  sheets  or  sam- 
ples, for  dummies,  for  proving  or  testing, 
and  they  will  be  gladly  furnished.

MITTINEAGUE  PAPER  COMPANY 

ITS  ADVANCEMENT  AND  PRODUCT 

|  HEN  this  Company  was  organ- 
ized, in  1 892,  it  was  the  purpose 
of  the  founders  to  begin  the 
manufacture  of  a  line  of  print- 
ing papers  that  should  be  unique 
by  reason  of  their  quality  and  their  adaptability 
to  satisfy  a  demand  that  was  arising  in  the  paper 
market.  How  perfectly  this  intention  has  been 
realized  is  shown  by  the  fact  that  the  business 
of  our  mills  has  increased  from  a  daily  output  of 
from  two  and  a  half  to  three  tons  to  a  daily  out- 
put of  from  twelve  to  fifteen  tons,  and  the  further 
fact  that  the  floor  area  of  the  mills  has  risen 
from  45,000  square  feet  to  1  75,000  square  feet. 
The  product  has  increased  500  per  cent,  and 
the  floor  space  400  per  cent.  These  are  sig- 
nificant facts,  and  they  gain  significance  from 
the  further  fact  that  our  product  is  not  heavily 
stocked  by  dealers,  and  the  output  is  never  far 
ahead  of  the  demand. 

Aside  from  the  manifest  fact  that  this  is  a 
record  that  must  gratify  any  manufacturer,  we 


are  gratified,  and  feel  that  our  judgment  has 
been  justified,  that  the  demand  for  such  quan- 
tities of  the  high  grade  papers  we  produce 
betokens  a  substantial  increase  in  the  demand 
for  artistic  printed  matter.  Some  proportion 
of  the  great  advance  in  the  printing  art,  and 
the  increased  public  appreciation  of  the  beau- 
tiful work  of  many  presses,  is  manifestly  due 
to  the  "Strathmore  Quality"  papers  that  have 
been  shipped  all  over  the  world  from  our 
Mittineague  Mills  during  the  past  fourteen 
years. 

Our  endeavor  has  been  to  produce  papers 
which  should  be  distinctive  in  appearance  and 
texture,  with  printing  qualities  that  would  bring 
out  the  full  value  and  beauty  of  type  and 
design,  and  made  from  stock  that  insured  long 
life  and  strength.  This  book  is  the  evidence  of 
our  success.  It  shows  forty  distinct  book 
papers,  and  shows  them  under  conditions  that 
provide  the  printer,  publisher  or  advertiser,  with 
a  definite  basis  upon  which  to  form  an  opinion. 
Nearly  all  the  different  methods  of  printing  and 
plate-making  are  represented  among  these 
beautiful  sample  pages.  In  all  of  them  the 
paper  is  given  its  proper  place,  and  its  true 
value  is  admirably  brought  out.  The  simple 


typographic  effects  were  chosen  to  allow  the 
paper  to  be  shown  in  its  true  relation.  Nothing 
in  this  book  is  too  difficult  for  any  good  printer. 
The  lesson  of  it  is  simplicity,  artistic  harmony 
and  good  paper.  The  printer  or  advertiser  who 
studies  the  three  elements  of  good  printing — 
paper,  typography,  ink — soon  discovers  that 
value,  beauty,  distinction  and  power  depend 
upon  his  knowledge  of  paper,  type  and  ink; 
and  that  the  first  and  most  important  is  paper. 

It  would  be  interesting  and  instructive  to 
give  here  a  sketch  of  the  development  of  paper- 
making  as  it  is  practiced  at  the  Mittineague 
Mills,  but  it  is  not  possible.  We  aim,  in  this 
book,  to  show  what  we  have  done,  and  are 
doing,  rather  than  how  we  do  it.  We  have 
studied  the  paper  question  constantly,  and 
have  constantly  experimented.  The  Strathmore 
product  is,  in  consequence,  different  from  any 
other  paper,  and  it  is  different  because  the 
processes  of  its  manufacture  are  different.  It  is 
made  by  special  machinery,  of  pure  linen  and 
cotton  rag  stock,  by  workmen  who  have  been 
trained  in  the  Strathmore  methods.  Every 
smallest  detail,  every  piece  of  machinery,  every 
foot  of  the  mills,  is  subject  to  the  standard 
of  "Strathmore  Quality."  We  have  from  the 


first  appealed  to  the  best  printers,  the  most 
expert  advertisers,  the  most  liberal  publishers. 
We  have  challenged  intelligence,  and  we  could 
do  so  in  no  other  way  than  by  the  exhibition  of 
intelligence.  We  have  put  papers  into  the 
hands  of  printers,  publishers  and  publicity 
experts  that  have  enabled  them  to  produce 
results  that  were  not  only  unknown  but  impos- 
sible before  Strathmore  papers  came  on  the 
market. 

To  summarize,  there  are  forty  items  of  book 
papers  in  this  book,  some  of  which  had  not 
previously  been  shown.  Twenty-one  items  are 
antique  finish,  seven  are  medium  plate  finish,  six 
are  plate  finish,  and  six  are  fabric  finish.  The 
printing  and  cut  processes  shown  include 
photogravures,  wood  engravings,  four-color  half- 
tone plates,  as  also  three,  two  and  one  color, 
half-tones  combined  with  line  engravings, 
"mash  outs"  by  plate  and  rule  with  half-tone 
and  line,  line  engravings  in  colors  and  in  black; 
and  a  beautiful  showing  of  typographic  effects, 
plain  and  in  colors.  All  of  the  cuts  and  typog- 
raphy were  made  in  the  ordinary  manner,  and 
the  printing  has  been  executed  as  the  regular 
run  of  work  is  put  through  printshops.

I  DECKLE   EDGE 

THHIS  paper  is  identified  with  the  finest  productions  of 
A  the  world  and  is  distinctly  a  new  departure  in  paper 
manufacture.  It  is  a  valuable  addition  to  the  limited  number 
of  fine  papers  now  on  the  market  and  one  that  possesses 
qualities  and  characteristics  not  heretofore  developed  in  a 
machine-made  paper. 

The  finest  quality  of  new  linen  rags  obtainable  constitute 
the  elements  of  this  paper,  and  their  manner  of  treatment 
throughout  the  entire  process  of  manufacture  is  such  that  the 
rag  fibre  is  preserved  in  its  full  strength  and  permanency  in 
the  finished  sheet. 

Never  before  has  a  paper  been  produced  that  combines 
such  strength  and  durability,  long  fibre,  characteristic 
"flower,"  purity  and  permanency  of  texture  and  color.  In 
these  respects  it  embodies  the  best  qualities  of  the  wonderful 
Imperial  Japan,  but  omits  the  harsh,  severe  printing  surfaces 
of  that  famous  paper.  Instead  of  which  STRATHMORE 
JAPAN  is  manufactured  in  three  practical  finishes:  Plate, 
Medium  and  Antique,  thus  making  the  paper  applicable  for 
all  the  various  printing  processes  employed  in  modern  repro- 
ductive work  and  adapted  for  high  grade  book,  catalogue 
and  circular  work.

>ESTERDAY  was  the 
first  of  June.  All  day 
great  clouds  floated 
about  the  sky  and  near 
evening  it  rained.  Im- 
mediately before  night 
the  gloom  in  the  west  was  swept  away 
by  some  invisible  destiny,  and  the  sunset 
crimson-patched  the  hills  and  rain  be- 
spattered homes  until  it  seemed  that  a 
halo  of  golden  glory  lingered  about  the 
very  brow  of  the  village  itself.

as  we  do  that  the  utmost 
frankness  is  due  to  the  depositors  and 
shareholders  of  every  financial  institution, 
it  has  been  our  practice  to  elect  annually 
three  stockholders  to  examine  once  or  more  dur- 
ing the  year  the  "  books,  accounts,  securities,  and 
financial  condition  of  the  Company." 

These  examinations,  while  useful,  are  in  their 
nature  less  exhaustive  than  those  made  by  inde- 
pendent and  experienced  auditors,  and  we  have 
therefore  employed  The  Audit  Company  of  New 
York  to  make  a  thorough  examination  of  our 
operations  during  1905,  and  of  our  condition  at  the 
end  of  that  year.  The  examination  began  on 
December  1st,  1905,  and  was  completed  on  Janu- 
ary 10th,  1906.  It  was  made  by  a  corps  of  men 
experienced  in  bank  work,  and  embraced  every 
detail  of  the  business.  The  certificate  of  the  Com- 
pany will  be  found  on  a  later  page.

^  I  "^HE  regular  weight  STRATHMORE  JAPAN 
_A_  has  created  a  demand  for  a  paper  having 
the  same  characteristics,  but  a  heavier  weight  for 
cover  purposes,  folders,  programmes,  menus,  book 
inserts,  etc.  This  demand,  therefore,  is  the  rea- 
son of  the  Extra  Thick  STRATHMORE  JAPAN,  as 
shown  by  this  and  the  two  following  signatures. 
It  is  carried  in  the  Natural  color  only,  Plate, 
Medium  and  Antique  finishes,  and  is  accordingly 
fitted  for  use  with  all  the  various  printing  processes 
that  would  be  employed  for  its  uses. 

This  new  weight  is  in  every  way  equal  in  qual- 
ity to  the  regular  weight  and  has  all  its  many  beau- 
tiful and  original  features,  and  will  be  of  great 
assistance  to  the  artistic  printer  in  satisfying  the 
demand  for  something  new  and  attractive  for  high 
grade  jobs  of  the  above  nature. 

For  photogravure  work  this  sheet  offers  the  best 
opportunities  for  the  finest  results.  Notice  the 
beautiful  and  realistic  effect  secured  in  the  frontis-

An  examination  of  these  specimens,  which  show 
three  distinct  classes  of  subjects,  and  represent  practi-

SONNETS  FROM  THE  PORTUGUESE 

THOUGHT  once 

how  Theocritus  had 
sung 

Of  the  sweet  years, 
the  dear  and  wished 
for  years, 

Who  each  one  in  agra- 1 
cious  hand  appears 
To  bear  a  gift  for  mor- 
tals, old  or  young: 
And,  as  I  mused  it  in 


his  antique  tongue, 
I  saw,  in  gradual  vision  through  my  tears, 
The  sweet,  sad  years,  the  melancholy  years, 
Those  of  my  own  lif  e,who  by  turns  had  flung 
A  shadow  across  me.  Straightway  I  was  'ware, 
So  weeping,  how  a  mystic  Shape  did  move 
Behind  me,  and  drew  me  backward  by  the  hair ; 
And  a  voice  said  in  mastery  while  I  strove : — 

Guess  now  who  holds  thee?"— "  Death,"  I  said. 
But  there 
Thesilver  answer  rang:  "Not  Death,  but  Love.1

process  manufactured  in  STRATH- 
MORE  JAPAN,  viz.:  Natural  Plate,  Regular 
Weight ;  Natural  Plate,  Extra  Thick  and  White

notice,  and  will  show  to  what  perfection  this

ation of  this  class  of  work. 

It  will  be  noted  that  the  half-tones  have

jects by  the  difficult  four  color  down  through 
the  three,  two  and  simple  one  color  work,  and 
the  splendid  results  secured  mechanically  and

DECKLE    EDGE    BOOK    PAPERS 

THIS  paper  represents  the  highest  possible  type  of  pure 
book   paper  in  that   it   combines   strength,  durability 
and  permanency  with  a  soft,  pliable  feel,  characteristics 
which   heretofore    have    only   been    found    in   the    hand 
made  papers. 

OLD  CLOISTER  book  paper  incorporates  the  wonderful 
strength  and  durability  of  STRATHMORE  JAPAN  and  the 
beautiful,  soft,  delicate  feel  of  STRATHMORE  DECKLE  EDGE 
and  OLD  STRATFORD  book  papers,  and  it  was  only  through 
the  knowledge  obtained  and  the  facilities  employed  in  the 
manufacture  of  these  celebrated  papers  that  the  production 
of  OLD  CLOISTER  book  papers  was  possible  of  accom- 
plishment. 

OLD  CLOISTER  book  papers  are  in  every  way  equal  to 
the  best  hand  made  papers  in  pure  rag  qualities,  perma- 
nency of  color  and  fibre  in  addition  to  the  features  above 
named,  and  are  the  superior  of  these  papers  in  even  and 
perfect  distribution  of  fibre  and  uniformity  in  thickness, 
color  and  surface.  There  is  also  no  perceptible  difference 
in  the  two  sides  of  the  sheet. 

To  the  printer  this  paper  offers  opportunities  for  the 
display  of  his  best  mechanical  and  decorative  skill.  The 
sheet  is  perfect  to  make  ready,  handle  and  print  and 
permits  of  the  use  of  type  and  original  cuts  on  the  longest 
runs  without  injury  to  either. 

Every  essential  qualification  for  books  of  permanent 
and  intrinsic  value  is  present  in  this  paper  and  it  may  be 
used  for  such  a  class  of  work  with  the  same  feeling  of 
entire  security  as  with  the  best  hand  made  papers,  and 
without  their  excessive  cost.

UT  only  three  in  all  God's 
universe 

Have  heard  this  word  thou 
hast  said,— Himself ,  beside 
Thee  speaking  and  me  lis- 
tening! and  replied 
One  of  us — that  was  God! 

-and  laid  the  curse 
So  darkly  on  my  eyelids  as 
to  amerce 

My  sight  from  seeing  thee, — that  if  I  had  died, 
The  death  weights  placed  there  would  have  signified 
Less  absolute  exclusion.  "  Nay  "  is  worse 
From  God  than  from  all  others,  O  my  friend ! 
Men  could  not  part  us  with  their  worldly  jars, 
Nor  the  seas  change  us,  nor  the  tempests  bend: 
Our  hands  would  touch  for  all  the  mountain-bars : 
And,  heaven  being  rolled  between  us  at  the  end, 
We  should  but  vow  the  faster  for  the  stars.

NLIKE  are  we,  unlike, 
O  princely  Heart ! 
Unlike  our  uses  and  our 
destinies. 

Our  ministering  two  an- 
gels look  surprise 
On  one  another,  as  they 
strike  athwart 
Their  wings  in  passing. 
Thou,  bethink  thee,  art 
A  guest  for  queens  to  social  pageantries, 
With  gazes  from  a  hundred  brighter  eyes 
Than  tears  even  can  make  mine,  to  ply  thy  part 
Of  chief  musician.  What  hast  thou  to  do 
With  looking  from  the  lattice-lights  at  me, 
A  poor,  tired,  wandering  singer, — singing  through 
The  dark,  and  leaning  up  a  cypress  tree? 
The  chrism  is  on  thine  head, — on  mine,the  dew, — 
And  Death  must  dig  the  level  where  these  agree.

DECKLE  EDGE  BOOK  PAPERS 

^  I  'HE  trade  name  "Strathmore"  enjoys  an  enviable 
JL  reputation  in  the  paper  world  and  was  first  applied 
to  these  beautiful  papers,  which,  when  placed  upon  the 
market,  were  the  pioneers  of  their  kind  and  all  others  are 
but  imitations.  The  unequalled  quality  and  original  fea- 
tures of  these  papers  are  responsible  for  the  establishing  as 
a  standard  the  Strathmore  Deckle  Edge  Book  Papers  and 
in  a  great  measure  for  the  success  and  prestige  of  the 
name  "  Strathmore." 

As  is  well  known  to  the  trade,  these  papers  are  made  in 
narrow  widths  between  Deckle  Edges,  as  shown  by  oppo- 
site schedule,  which  permits  of  the  Deckle  Edges  on  each 
page  instead  of  every  two  alternate  pages  as  in  this  book* 
and  to  this  feature  is  due  many  of  the  handsomest  and 
most  artistic  pieces  of  work  ever  produced  in  the  way  of 
booklets,  brochures,  and  other  similar  light  work. 

The  quality  of  the  stock  is  plainly  discernible.  It  is 
positively  99%  pure  clean  rag  fibre  and  contains  no  chem- 
icals. The  Deckle  Edges  are  even  and  feathery,  nothing 
scraggly  or  coarse  about  them,  and  the  two  sides  of  the 
sheet  are  so  similar  there  is  no  noticeable  difference. 

*In  order  to  include  the  papers  in  this  book  they  had  to  be  folded 
to  the  same  size  as  the  other  papers,  but  as  there  is  no  flat  size  made 
in  Strathmore  that  will  fold  as  required,  it  was  necessary  to  cut  down 
from  the  largest  size,  thus  allowing  only  one  Deckle  Edge  in  the  flat 
sheet  or  two  in  the  folded,  as  shown.

INTRODUCTORY 


""^  O  live  in  Washington  is  in  itself  a  liberal  educa- 
tion. For  the  purposes  of  study  and  research 
the  advantages  of  the  National  Capital  are  not 
surpassed  by  those  of  any  other  city  in  our  country,  and 
it  is  not  difficult  to  imagine  a  time  when  it  will  be  the 
world's  greatest  educational  centre. 

It  is  essentially  the  city  beautiful,  and  one  of  peculiar 
charm.  Here  are  beautiful  parks,  broad  streets,  statuary 
and  galleries  of  art,  all  making  a  strong  appeal  to  our 
sense  of  the  beautiful.  Here  are  gardens  and  fountains 
and  magnificent  architecture  in  a  city  whose  atmosphere 
is  one  of  repose,  quiet,  refinement  and  happiness. 

Wasr^gton's  climate  is  the  soft  and  even  climate  of 
the  Seaboard,  and  the  number  of  those  who  come  from 
the  north,  east,  south  and  west  to  enjoy  here  a  winter's 
residence  is  annually  increasing.  A  more  delightful  and 
appropriate  place  to  spend  one's  student  days  than  the 
National  Capital  can  hardly  be  found. 

Here  it  is  one's  privilege  to  meet  men  and  women 
of  eminence  in  our  national  life,  and  to  hear  discussed

See  Schedule  for  Sizes  and  Weights 


This  Medium  Plate  finish  is  specially  suitable  for  the  finest  line  work 
and  stipple  effects.  The  texture  and  the  formation  of  the  paper  permits 
of  the  best  possible  type  work  on  all  of  the  finishes ;  no  ragged  edges  or 
pin  holes.  Nor  is  it  necessary  to  push  the  type  away  into  the  paper  to 
secure  an  even  impression.  Owing  to  the  uniform  thickness  and  the 
absence  of  lumps,  grit  or  other  hard  substances  there  is  no  perceptible 
wear  on  either  type  or  plates  in  the  longest  runs  on  Strathmore.  Sheets 
for  proving  purposes  will  be  gladly  furnished  by  Agents. 


OR  naif-tone  work  in  one  or 

Fmore  colors  where  it  is  desir- 
able to  use  cuts  not  finer  than 
120  line  screen  this  High  Plate 
finish  offers  many  advantages 
over  the  coated  papers.  It  takes  a  perfect  im- 
pression and  the  effect  is  especially  soft,  deep 
and  rich  without  the  glassy  and  shiny  look  of 
the  coated  stock.  Strathmore  has  a  pure  white 
without  the  blackish  white  mottled  look  of 
many  coated  papers.  Neither  is  it  possible  for 
the  surface  to  ""pick  for  the  printing  surface  is 
the  paper  itself.  The  harsh,  brittle  feel  of  the 
coated  stock  is  also  entirely  done  away  with  in 
Strathmore.  These  papers  are  delightful  to  the 
touch,  being  soft  and  velvety  yet  having  a  firm- 
ness that  denotes  their  ingredients. 

For  booklets,  folders,  etc.,  that  are  to  serve 
a  practical  purpose  as  well  as  he  artistic  and 
dainty  Strathmore  Deckle  Edge  Book  Papers 
have  exceptional  possibilities.  Sheets  for  dummy 
purposes  gladly  furnished.

O  often  a.  building  is  dedicated  or 
a  monument  unveiled  with  slight 
reference,  or  none,  to  the  man 
from  whose  mind  it  was  evolved. 
Surely  we  owe  such  a  one  a  pass- 
ing tribute,  particularly  as  the  future  is  apt  to 
remember  him  when  our  names  are  forgotten. 
The  painter,  especially,  has  claims  upon  us, 
for  he,  more  than  others,  is  called  upon  to  be 
faithful  to  his  ideals.  Ceaseless  struggle  and 
actual  privation  often  mark  his  early  career. 
Not  infrequently  they  prove  his  gaunt  com- 
panions to  the  end,  even  though  fame  pause 
later  in  her  flight  to  weave  a  magic  round  his 
name. 

Charles  Yardley  Turner  attributes  his  success 
as  a  painter  to  his  mastery  of  technique,  by  hard 
work,  and  to  his  determination  to  understand. 
One  would  think  that  art  is  surely  something 
which  the  worker  may  take  up  or  throw  aside 
at  will,  working  spasmodically  if  he  choose,

In  addition  to  the  White,  a  Cream  is  now  manufactured  in  these 
papers,  as  shown  by  this  and  the  three  following  signatures.  The 
schedule  is  on  the  second  page  of  the  Strathmore  Deckle  Edge  section. 

This  is  a  very  attractive  shade  and  offers  opportunities  for  handsome 
displays.  It  possesses  a  suggestion  of  color,  but  of  a  neutral  tone,  so  that 
practically  the  same  color  harmonies  can  be  employed  as  on  the  White

Particular  attention  is  directed  to  the  beautiful  clear  pure  color  of  these  papers, 
both  the  White  and  Cream.  This  is  as  permanent  as  rags  can  make  it,  as  absolutely 
no  chemicals  nor  mineral  filler  of  any  kind  are  used  in  the  manufacture  of  the  paper, 
which  also  accounts  for  the  entire  absence  of  any  semblance  of  lumps,  grit  or  other 
foreign  substances.  All  of  the  papers  fold  without  cracking  and  emboss  perfectly.

2§J  HE  Cream,  Plate  Finish,  Strathmore 
Deckle  Edge  Book  Paper,  displayed 
in  this  signature  is  the  only  Cream 
shade  manufactured  for  half  tone  print- 
ing in  Deckle  Edge  papers  aside  from 
the  Natural,  Strathmore  Japan,  which,  of  course,  is 
somewhat  different  in  shade  and  texture. 

The  exceptional  beauties  of  this  stock  are  at  once 
apparent  both  in  color  and  decorative  possibilities.  No- 
tice the  ideal  blending  of  the  ink  with  the  paper  on  all 
the  finishes  in  this  shade  and  the  delicate  daintiness  and 
softness  of  the  opposite  half  tone  as  well  as  its  realistic 
reproduction  of  the  artist's  drawing.  The  shade  of  the 
paper  also  loses  to  a  great  extent  the  screen  of  the  half 
tone  and  the  general  effect  is  all  that  could  be  desired. 
The  fine  line  engraving  shown  on  the  first  page  of 
this  signature  is  another  example  of  the  class  of  work 
that  may  be  faultlessly  executed  on  this  stock.  The 
Medium  finish  will  also  take  the  same  style  of  cuts  in 
a  highly  satisfactory  manner  and  illustrations  of  the  same 
may  be  seen  in  the  signatures  of  this  finish,  both  White 
and  Cream.

COVER  PAPERS 


THESE  are  manufactured  to  be  used  in  connection 
with  Strathmore  Deckle  Edge  Book  Papers  and  are 
accordingly  made  half  an  inch  wider  and  longer  than 
the  sizes  in  the  book  papers  to  allow  for  an  overhang  with 
Deckle  Edges  on  front  and  back  covers.  They  are  made 
by  the  same  process  from  nearly  the  same  class  of  rags  as  is 
feasible  considering  the  purposes  of  the  two  papers  and  of 
a  substantial  weight.  The  finishes  in  both  papers  are  prac- 
tically the  same  so  that  in  general  appearance  and  make-up 
the  two  papers  are  identical  and  may  be  used  for  the 
complete  booklet  in  perfect  harmony. 

They  are  made  in  White  and  Buff  as  follows: 

White,    9^x24^,  27  Ib. 
"      10^x28^,  32  Ib. 
"      12^x36^,  53  Ib. 
Buff,    9^x24^,  27  and  50 IBs.

DECKLE   EDGE   BOOK   PAPERS 

\LD  STRATFORD  is  an  absolutely  all  rag 
paper,  and  the  manufacturers  guarantee  that 
the  stock  will  analyze  99%  of  pure  cotton  fibre 
and  that  no  starch  or  mineral  of  any  kind  is  used 
in  its  manufacture.  This  produces  a  practically 
permanent  sheet.  The  paper  has  wonderful  bulking 
qualities,  far  in  excess  of  any  other,  and  consequently 
a  lighter  weight  may  be  used  as  compared  with 
other  makes  to  bulk  up  to  a  required  thickness.  This 
difference  in  weight  largely  offsets  the  difference  in 
cost  between  OLD  STRATFORD  and  a  cheaper  stock. 
The  nearly  identical  appearance  of  the  two  sides  of 
the  sheet  is  another  distinctive  feature.  The  right 
and  wrong  sides  are  almost  unknown  factors ;  either 
side  prints  and  looks  as  well  as  the  other.  Combined 
with  the  above  characteristics  is  the  beautiful  pure 
clear  color  and  incomparable  texture,  with  surfaces 
that  are  adapted  to  the  various  printing  processes  of 
modern  book  and  smaller  work,  as  shown  by  this 
and  following  signatures.

A  MIDSUMMER  WEEK'S  DREAM 

that  in  itself  repays  the  effort  of  the  climb  to  Cer-

composition — like  one  of  the  fantastic  designs  of 
Fontana  or  Bibbiena— thronged  with  tiny  saints  and 
doctors,  angels  and  putti,  akin  to  the  little  people  of

This  prodigality  of  wood-carving,  surprising  as  it 
is  in  so  remote  and  humble  a  church,  is  yet  character- 
istic of  the  region  about  Brescia  and  Bergamo. 
Lamberti  of  Brescia,  the  sculptor  of  the  famous 
frame  of  Romanino's  Madonna  in  the  church  of  San 
Francesco,  was  one  of  the  greatest  wood-carvers  of 
the  Italian  Renaissance ;  and  every  church  and  chapel 
in  the  country  through  which  we  were  travelling  bore 
witness  to  the  continued  practice  of  the  art  in  some 
graceful  frame  or  altar-front,  some  saint  or  angel 
rudely  but  expressively  modelled. 

We  lunched  that  day  at  Breno,  a  town  guarded  by 
a  ruined  castle  on  a  hill,  and  sunset  brought  us  to 
Lovere,  at  the  head  of  the  lake  of  Iseo.  It  was  the

N  establishing  a  school  for  girls  and  young 
women  at  the  National  Capital,  we  chose 
to  form  one  of  distinctly  College  grade,  as 
offering  the  most  inviting  grade  and  field 
for  school  work  in  the  city.  The  wisdom 
of  such  choice  has  been  fully  attested.  Education  may  be 
distinguished  as  Primary,  Academic,  College,  and  Univer- 
sity. The  place  of  the  College  is  between  the  Academy 
and  the  University.  This  place  we  occupy — offering  also 
some  years  of  Primary  and  Academic  work  in  our  Prepar- 
atory School. 

Every  young  lady,  if  possible,  should  have  a  College 
education,  no  matter  what  her  work  in  life  may  be.  Only 
a  few  women  will,  or  can,  enter  the  professions — except 
that  of  teaching,  and  for  that  the  College  may  prepare. 
All  who  can,  should  first  do  the  College  work,  and  then, 
if  a  higher  or  a  professional  training  is  desired,  go  to  the 
University  for  that. 

The  mission  of  the  Young  Ladies'  College  is  to  fully 
prepare  young  women  for  their  places  in  the  home  and  in 
society.  Its  work  is  necessarily  more  extensive  than  the 
Academic  and  distinct  from  it;  and,  necessarily,  less  exten-

The  soft,  silky  feel  of  the  Medium  Plate  and  High  Plate  finishes  is  especially  pleasing.  Also 
note  the  absence  of  any  harshness,  brittleness  or  crackle  in  all  the  items.  These  disagreeable 
features  are  ever  present  in  the  cheaper  grades  owing  to  the  necessary  use  of  mineral  filler  and 
wood  pulp,  both  of  which  destroy  the  life  of  the  color  and  texture.  OLD  STRATFORD  is  practically 
indestructible  in  this  respect,  being  99%  of  pure  rag  stock. 

The  White  Wove  and  Laid  Medium  Plate  finish  are  for  illustrated  books  containing  fine  line 
engravings,  zinc  etchings,  wood  cuts,  etc.

This  finish  has  a  half  tone  printing  surface  without  the  repel- 
lent glare  and  stiffness  of  the  coated  papers.  For  illustrated 
books,  this  finish  permits  of  the  text  and  illustrations  being  run 
on  the  same  paper,  thus  obviating  the  expensive  and  objectionable 
insertion  of  coated  stock,  thereby  securing  a  much  more  attractive 
and  durable  book. 

Note  the  beautiful,  soft,  restful  effect  obtained  with  half  tones 
on  this  paper,  as  shown  by  illustrations.  We  advise  that  the 
screen  of  the  half  tones  be  not  finer  than  120  line  for  the  best 
results.

passed  since  he  left  us — and 
the  world  that  will  forever 
love  and  mourn  him.  Five 
times  have  the  seasons  run  their  course  since  he  fell 
asleep  beside  the  Avon,  never  to  waken  more.  Five 
long  and  lonely  years!  And  yet — and  yet — to  me  it 
seems  that  he  is  never  far  away.  Lonely  in  body  have 
I  been,  but  never  hath  my  soul  dwelt  solitary.  My 
grief  for  him  is  as  no  other's;  yet  my  joy  is  such  as 
none  can  ever  take  from  me.  I  was  his,  he  was  mine. 
The  world's  poet  was  my  beloved,  too.  It  makes  me 
almost  catch  my  breath  to  say  it,  and  I  often  marvel 
why  this  crown  of  my  life  was  given  me.  'Tis  a  mys- 
tery sweet  as  strange,  a  very  sacrament  of  wonder  and 
of  love.  And  a  mystery,  whether  human  or  divine,  we 
may  adore,  but  never  comprehend. 

For  I  was  Shakespeare's  sweetheart — verily  and 
alone  his  sweetheart,  even  after  I  became  his  wedded 
wife.  From  that  first  wondrous  day  when  we  read  in 


each  other's  eyes  the  new-born  love  which  was  to  live 
forever,  to  the  time  when  he  left  me  for  awhile,  five 
years  ago;  nay,  even  until  now,  I  am  Shakespeare's 
sweetheart.  And  so  it  is  my  right,  as  it  is  also  my 
pride  and  delight,  to  tell  the  story  of  our  love  for  the 
great  multitudes  who  held  Will  dear,  for  the  shadowy, 
unborn  multitudes  who  shall  pay  homage  to  his  mem- 
ory in  years  to  come.  Truly,  the  story  is  sacred  to  me ; 
but  he  is  not  mine  alone;  he  is  also  the  world's,  the 
world  that  loved  him,  that  he  loved. 

After  all,  however,  Master  Ben  Jonson  is  respon- 
sible for  my  trying  to  tell  this  tale  of  mine.  For  yes- 
terday, with  a  great  noise  and  bustle,  as  is  his  wont, 
he  rode  up  to  the  gates  of  New  Place  and  called  loudly 
for  me.  I  was  sitting  in  the  garden,  sewing,  and  the 
instant  after  he  had  bellowed  forth  my  name  he  be- 
held me. 

"Good-morrow,  Mistress  Shakespeare,"  he  cried, 
waving  his  hand  to  me.  "  Thou  art  the  very  dame  I 
wish  to  see.  Art  weary,  art  busy  ?  If  so,  I  will  leave 
my  errand  until  later.  This  sorry  nag  of  mine  must 
be  stabled  at  the  inn;"  and  he  gave  a  vicious  dig  at 
the  poor  beast  he  bestrode.  Master  Jonson  is  not  at 
his  best  on  horseback.

"  I  am  neither  weary  nor  busy,  Master  Jonson,"  I 
replied,  walking  down  to  the  gateway,  that  we  might 
converse  more  freely.  "Prythee,  come  in  at  once;  Will's 
friends  are  always  welcome  at  New  Place." 

"  Marry,  it  is  about  Will  that  I  would  speak  with 
thee,"  he  said,  bluntly,  looking  at  me  with  shrewd, 
kindly  eyes.  "Moreover,  I  am  mistaken  sorely  if  my 
errand  shall  not  please  thee.  Natheless,  on  my  way 
hither  I  ordered  dinner  at  the  inn,  and  I  must  e'en  go 
there  first.  Then  I  will  return,  an  it  like  thee.  I  have 
many  things  to  talk  about." 

I  expressed  my  pleasure  at  the  prospect,  and  he 
looked  delighted.  "I  will  return,  then,  as  speedily  as 
may  be,"  he  said,  beginning  a  somewhat  unsuccessful 
attempt  to  turn  his  horse  about.  "Au  revoir,  Mistress 

Shakespeare,  and  may  all  the  gods  of  Olympus 

The  devil  take  thee,  thou  evil-faced,  sorry  steed!  Ac- 
cursed be  the  day  I  hired  thee !  Wilt  thou  obey  my 
rein?  Ah,  at  last.  Go  on,  thou  imp  of  Satan!"  With 
which  cheerful  adjuration  Master  Jonson  ambled  away, 
too  absorbed  in  guiding  his  steed  to  take  further  notice 
of  me  then. 

I  laughed  a  little  as  I  watched  his  ungraceful 
progress;  but  as  I  turned  from  the  gate  I  sighed.

The  opaqueness,  bulk  and  firmness  of  the  60  Ib.  Wove  and  Laid 
OLD  STRATFORD  is  equal  to  considerably  heavier  papers  in  other

record  of  which  the  city  is,  and  well  may 
be,  proud,  and  which  other  financial  cen- 
tres may  envy  her  without  blame,  for  it  is  a 
record  of  true  enterprise  linked  to  wise  con-

banks  of  the  Monumental  City  a  fame  for

This  sheet  has  a  distinctive  character  not  possible  in  the 
Wove  papers,  and  the  beautiful  ribbing  secured  is  not  met  with 
elsewhere. 

This  and  all  of  the  papers  take  embossing:  perfectly,  and  the 
effect  obtained  with  blind  embossing  is  most  gratifying:  and 
striking.  The  80  Ib.  Rough  Antique,  Laid  or  Wove,  is  most 
desirable,  however,  as  the  rough  finish  offers  a  pleasing  contrast 
with  the  smooth  surface  of  the  embossed  part.  Samples  of 
embossing  will  be  furnished  on  application.

THE     SONNET 


HAT  is  a   sonnet?     "Tis 
the  pearly  shell 
That   murmurs    of     the 
far-off  murmuring  sea ; 
A.  precious  jewel  carved 
most  curiously ; 
It    is    a    little     picture 
painted  -well. 

"What  is  a  sonnet?    'Tis  tke  tear  tkat  fell 

From  a  great  poet  s  hidden  ecstasy  ; 

A  two-edged  sword,  a  star,  a  song — an  me! 

Sometimes  a  heavy-tolling  funeral  bell. 

This  was  the  flame  that  snook  with  Dante  s 
breath ; 

The  solemn  organ  whereon  Milton  played. 

And   the    clear   glass   where    Shakespeare  s 
shadow  falls : 

A  sea  this  is — beware  who  ventureth ! 

For  like  a  fjord  the  narrow  floor  is  laid 

Mid-ocean  deep  to  the  sheer  mountain  walls. 


RICHARD      WATSON      GILDER 


GUILIELMUS   REX 


THE  folk  who  lived  in  Shakespeare  s  day 
And  saw  that  gentle  figure  pass 
By  London  Bridge,  his  frequent  way, — 
They  little  knew  what  man  he  was. 

The  pointed  beard,  the  courteous  mien, 
The  equal  port  to  high  and  low. 
All  this  they  saw  or  might  Lave  seen — 
But  not  the  light  behind  tke  brow ! 

The  doublet's  modest  gray  or  brown. 
The  slender  sword-hilt's  plain  device, 
\Vhat  sign  had  these  for  prince  or  clown? 
Few  turned,  or  none,  to  scan  him  twice. 


Yet  'twas  the  king  of  England's  kings ! 
The  rest  -with  all  their  pomps  and  trains 
Are  mouldered,  half-remembered  thing 
'Tis  he  alone  that  lives  and  reigns !

The  Bellevieu-Manchester 
Apartments 


HE  Bellevieu  -Manchester  Apartments  are 
situated  in  the  central  part  of  the  very  best 
northern  residential  section.  The  elevation 
is  unusually  high,  the  location  sufficiently  removed  from 
the  noise  and  impure  atmosphere  so  common  to  the 
more  congested  sections,  and  is  generally  recognized  as 
one  of  the  most  healthful  in  the  city. 

An  excellent  view  of  Eutaw  Place  and  Madison 
Avenue  may  be  had  from  both  buildings,  while  the 
main  entrance  to  Druid  Hill  Park  is  only  four  blocks 
away.  The  architectural  scheme  is  designed  to  reflect 
simple  elegance  and  is  especially  free  from  that  quality 
of  cheap  ornamentation  which  often  mars  the  outward 
appearance  of  buildings  of  this  character.  The  basement 
extends  entirely  under  both  buildings,  but  above  the 
ground  floor  they  are  separated  by  a  large  open  space 
beautified  by  grass,  flowers  and  fountains. 

This  scheme  represents  the  very  latest  architectural 
improvements  and  is  the  only  plan  whereby  each  apart- 
ment may  enjoy  not  only  a  front  view  but  have  plenty

signature  shows  the  Toned,  Laid,  Smooth 
Antique  Finish,  OLD  STRATFORD,  and  it 
will  be  noticed  that  the  shade  has  been  deepened 
and  is  more  pronounced  than  that  formerly  manufactured,  which 
was  hardly  distinct  enough. 

The  present  Toned  is  a  very  beautiful  shade,  especially 
soft  and  restful  to  the  eye,  and  its  presence  as  a  color  is  barely 
perceptible  and,  therefore,  one  that  never  becomes  tiresome  or 
offensive.  Its  permanency  is  absolute  and  in  combination  with 
OLD  STRATFORD  quality  represents  a  most  admirable 
sheet  of  paper. 

The  piece  of  half-tone  work  shown  on  the  opposite  page 
is  exceptionally  striking  and  extremely  unusual  in  that  it  is 
executed  on  a  Laid  sheet  and  its  duplication  on  any  but  OLD 
STRATFORD  texture  is  doubtful.  This  was  accomplished 
by  mashing  out  the  paper  with  a  hot  brass  plate  on  a  job 
press  and  a  120  line  cut  run  in  the  usual  manner.  Notwith- 
standing the  tremendous  pressure  brought  to  bear  upon  the  stock 
there  is  not  the  least  indication  of  a  break  and  the  paper  feels 
as  firm  and  substantial  as  the  rest  of  the  signature.  The  effect 
is  certainly  very  beautiful  and  the  depth  and  richness  of  tone 
of  the  subject  is  much  enhanced  by  the  surrounding  Laid  marks. 
This  class  of  work  may  also  be  repeated  with  gratifying  success 
on  the  other  Antique  papers  in  OLD  STRATFORD  either 
Wove  or  Laid.

DECKLE  EDGE  BOOK  PAPERS 

TO  produce  a  paper  that  could  be  sold  at  a  medium  price 
and  still  have  many  of  the  characteristics  of  the  all  rag 
papers  shown  in  this  book  was  only  made  possible  through 
being  able  to  employ  the  facilities  and  special  machinery  used 
in  the  manufacture  of  those  papers.  That  a  successful  paper 
along  these  lines  has  been  produced  is  shown  by  these  sam- 
ples of  ALEXANDRA  BOOK.  ALEXANDRA  is  not  a  pure  rag 
paper  as  are  the  other  papers  shown,  nevertheless  it  contains 
about  90%  of  clear  rag  stock  and  does  not  contain  any  starch 
or  chlorides.  The  sheet  is  well  formed,  has  good  body  and 
strength.  It  is  soft  and  pliable  to  the  touch  and  the  deckle 
edges  are  even  and  feathery.  The  bulking  qualities  are  un- 
equalled by  any  other  moderate  priced  paper  and  the  nearly 
identical  appearance  of  the  two  sides  of  the  sheet  is  also  a 
distinct  advantage.  The  specimens  of  work  shown  here- 
with, which  were  executed  under  ordinary  conditions,  dem- 
onstrate that  the  different  finishes  in  which  the  papers  are 
carried  give  entirely  satisfactory  printing  surfaces  and  oppor- 
tunities for  the  finest  press  work.  It  will  be  further  noted  that 
owing  to  the  excellence  of  the  manufacture  of  ALEXANDRA 
the  finished  printed  form  more  nearly  approaches  the  results 
obtained  on  the  all  rag  papers  shown  in  this  book  than  any 
other  medium  price  stock.

i  OYS  differ  as  much  in  their  intellectual  needs,  as  in 
their  personal  appearance.  One  is  stupid  and  can 
take  few  studies,  another  is  bright  and  makes  rapid 
progress.  One  begins  his  school  work  at  fourteen, 
another  at  five.  One  has  lived  abroad  and  speaks  French  and

science.  In  a  word,  in  previous  training,  in  mental  ability, 
and  in  future  plans,  no  two  boys  are  exactly  alike. 

Corresponding  to  this  wide  difference  in  the  boy  there  should 
be  a  similar  difference  in  his  mental  training ;  each  pupil  in  a 
school  should  be  considered  not  as  one  of  a  class  but  rather  as 
an  individual ;  a  careful  study  should  be  made  of  his  peculiar 
needs ;  he  should  take  few  studies  or  many  as  is  best  for  him  > 
his  advancement  in  one  study  should  not  affect  his  standing  in 
others ;  he  should  begin  each  at  that  point  for  which  his  pre- 
vious training  has  fitted  him.  In  a  word,  the  school  unit  should 
be  the  boy  not  the  class. 

The  Washington  School  was  one  of  the  first  in  the  country 
to  recognize  fully  the  difference  in  the  intellectual  needs  of  its 
pupils  and  it  is  one  of  the  few  which,  by  discarding  entirely  a 
rigid  course  of  study,  carries  the  principle  to  a  logical  conclu- 
sion. In  place  of  the  fixed  curriculum,  the  grade,  or  the  form 
found  in  most  schools,  there  are  offered  in  The  Washington 
School  seventy-eight  different  courses  each  representing  from 
a  half-hour  to  three  and  a  half  hours  of  class  room  work  a 
week.  From  these  courses  the  Head- Master  selects  for  each

BECAUSE  you  passed,  and  now  are  not 
Because,  in  some  remoter  day, 
Your  sacred  dust  from  doubtful  spot 
Was  blown  of  ancient  airs  away  — 
Because  you  perished  —  must  men  say 
Your  deeds  were  naught,  and  so  profane 

Your  lives  with  that  cold  burden?     Nay, 
The  deeds  you  wrought  are  not  in  vain! 

Though,  it  may  be,  above  the  plot 
That  hid  your  once  imperial  clay, 

No  greener  than  o'er  men  forgot 
The  unregarding  grasses  sway  — 
Though  there  no  sweeter  is  the  lay 

From  careless  bird  —  though  you  remain 
Without  distinction  of  decay  — 

The  deeds  you  wrought  are  not  in  vain! 

No.     For  while  yet  in  tower  or  cot 
Your  story  stirs  the  pulses'  play; 

And  men  forget  the  sordid  lot  — 
The  sordid  care,  of  cities  gray  — 
While  yet,  beset  in  homelier  fray, 

They  learn  from  you  the  lesson  plain 
That  life  may  go,  so  Honor  stay  — 

The  deeds  you  wrought  are  not  in  vain! 


Heroes  of  old!     I  humbly  lay 

The  laurel  on  your  graves  again; 

Whatever  men  have  done,  men  may  — 
The  deeds  you  wrought  are  not  in  vain. 

—  Austin  Dobson.

THE    PAST    IS    THE    FASHION    PLATE    OF    ART 


OU  are  cordially  invited  to  inspect  our  incomparable 
stock  of  High  Class  and  Original  Antiques,  both 
restored  and  in  tke  rough.  Our  showrooms  include 
many  of  the  finest  and  rarest  specimens  of  Colonial, 
Chippendale,  Hepplewhite,  and  Sheraton  Furniture 
,  extant.  Especial  attention  is  called  to  our  exhibit 
of  fine  old  original  Chairs,  a  line  well  worthy  of  critical  inspection.  From 
the  prodigal  periods  of  Louis  XV  and  XVI  we  are  showing  many  exquisite 
pieces,  resplendent  with  those  rich  and  extravagant  embellishments  which 
speak  more  eloquently  than  words  of  the  gilded  decadence  and  refined 
degeneracy  of  the  times  which  they  have  survived.  In  this  connection  we 
are  also  offering  some  very  beautiful  types  of  Empire  Art. 
€L  Especial  note  is  made  of  the  very  fine  and  curious  old  Grandfather  s 
Clocks  and  the  old  English  Mantel  and  Chime  Clocks  which  will  prove  of 
exceptional  interest  to  connoisseurs  of  this  line. 

C.  Our  display  of  old  Silver  Pieces  in  rare  and  exquisite  designs,  Sheffield 
and  other  renowned  makes,  is  most  generous  and  worthy  of  review. 


HEN  shall  thy  light  break 
forth  as  the  morning, 
and  thine  health  shall 
spring  forth  speedily:  and 
thy  righteousness  shall 
go  before  thee;  the  glory 
of  the  Lord  shall  be  thy 
rearward  &  Then  shalt  thou  call,  and 
the  Lord  shall  answer;  thou  shalt  cry, 
and  He  shall  say,  Here  I  am.  If  thou 
take  away  from  the  midst  of  thee  the 
yoke,  the  putting  forth  of  the  finger,  and 
speaking  vanity;  ^  And  if  thou  draw  out 
thy  soul  to  the  hungry,  and  satisfy  the 
afflicted  soul;  then  shall  thy  light  rise  in 
obscurity,  and  thy  darkness  be  as  the 
noonday:  j*  And  the  Lord  shall  guide 
thee  continually,  and  satisfy  thy  soul  in 
drought,  and  make  fat  thy  bones:  and 
thou  shalt  be  like  a  watered  garden,  and 
like  a  spring  of  water  whose  waters 
fail  not  J^  And  they  that  shall  be  of 
thee  shall  build  the  old  waste  places; 
thou  shalt  raise  up  the  foundations  of 
many  generations;  and  thou  shalt  be 
called  The  repairer  of  the  breach,  The 
restorer  of  paths  to  dwell  in.

CERTAIN  features  of  a  Casualty  Company's 
work  should  be  looked  into  with  great  care 
in  order  to  be  sure  that  the  company's  dis- 
position is  broad  and  fair,  and  that  it  is  finan- 
cially able  to  live  up  to  its  contracts. 
IjThe  Company's  many  appreciative  letters  from 
policyholders  present  the  best  possible  proof  of  the 
fairness  of  its  disposition  and  methods. 
IjThe  unusually  well  selected  character  of  the  Mary- 
land's investments,  and  its  very  large  surplus  to 
policyholders,  furnish  conclusive  evidence  of  the 
ability  and  conservatism  of  its  financial  management. 
€J  It  is  a  well  known  fact  that  certain  securities  appear 
to  be  favorites  with  speculators.  When  there  is  a 
boom  in  the  stock  market,  they  advance  with  it ;  when 
the  reaction  comes,  they  drop.  These  conditions  are 
reflected  in  the  financial  statements  of  companies 
holding  them,  so  that  in  boom  times  their  surpluses 
increase,  and  when  the  drop  comes,  they  shrink. 
The  securities  of  the  Maryland,  however,  are  not 
that  kind,  as  a  reference  to  its  statement  will  show. 
€J  Every  investment  proposition  which  is  offered  to 
it  is  most  carefully  scrutinized  and  investigated  so 
that  the  company's  holdings  are  limited  to  only  the 
most  approved  and  safest  securities.  No  investment 
which  has  the  slightest  speculative  feature  is  tolerated. 
IjThe  Maryland  has  built  for  itself  an  enviable  repu- 
tation for  fairness  in  its  dealings  with  claimants.  An 
agent  of  the  Maryland  will  get  for  his  clients  the 
quickest  settlement  of  all  claims  consistent  with  rea-

ROM  the  pre-historic  pots  and  crucibles  of 
primitive  man,  to  the  beautiful  products  in 
wedgewood,  faience  and  illuminated  tiles  of 
the  present  day,  CLAY  and  its  products  have 
held  sway  as  one  of  the  essential  elements  in 
the  arts,  sciences  and  manufactures.  Its  dura- 
bility and  sanitary  properties,  even  under  the  crude  processes 
of  the  ancients,  are  evidenced  in  the  excavations  at  Pompeii, 
and  by  the  ceramic  ware  handed  down  by  the  Aztecs  and  the 
Cliff  Dwellers. 

C.  The  evolution  from  the  coarse  vessels  of  the  ancients  to 
the  wares  of  today  is  not  more  marked  than  from  the  mud 
houses  of  the  savages  to  the  products  in  terra  cotta,  faience 
and  tiles  of  modern  manufacture,  but  the  material,  good 
honest  CLAY,  is  the  same,  and  will  endure  forever. 
C.  Tiles  were  used  freely  by  the  Orientals  in  the  Middle  Ages, 
some  of  the  best  examples  of  which  are  still  found  at  Damascus, 
Cairo,  Moorish  Spain  and  in  the  Mosques  of  Persia.  From 
the  twelfth  to  the  sixteenth  century  the  beautiful  lustred  tiles 
were  much  used,  and  in  the  sixteenth  century  majolica  tiles 
were  produced  in  southern  Spain,  rare  examples  of  which  still 
exist  in  the  Alhambra,  and  in  Italy  there  are  many  fine  speci- 
mens from  the  master  hand  of  Lucca  Delia  Robbia. 
C.  From  the  twelfth  to  the  sixteenth  century,  floor  tiles  were 
produced  in  the  northern  countries  of  Europe,  but  as  late  as 
the  sixteenth  century  tiles  for  mural  decoration  were  imported 
from  Spain  into  England.

C.  In  the  last  century  England,  Germany  and  France  have 
made  great  advancement  in  the  manufacture  of  tiles,  but  it 
was  not  until  the  latter  part  of  the  last  century  that  the 
attention  of  American  manufacturers  was  turned  to  this 
product,  and  while  we  still  import  from  Europe  certain  lines 
of  ceramics,  particularly  in  the  mosaic,  yet  the  commercial 
enterprise  of  America  prevails,  and  there  are  today  some 
eighteen  factories  in  this  country,  using  the  most  modern 
methods,  and  producing  tiles,  particularly  in  the  encaustic, 
hydraulic  and  glazed  kinds  which  are  unsurpassed  in  the 
world. 

C.  Ceramic  mosaics  were  only  introduced  in  this  country  after 
1880,  and  there  are  many  excellent  examples  of  them  in  the 
large  buildings  of  Baltimore.  They  possess  many  advantages 
over  marble  mosaics,  are  imperishable,  and  in  pavements  the 
wear  of  a  lifetime  is  scarcely  perceptible,  and  on  account  of 
this,  and  because  of  their  close  texture  and  wide  range  in 
colorings,  they  have  practically  supplanted  marble  mosaics  in 
Europe  and  will  do  so  in  this  country.

A  CRY  FROM  THE.  SHORE. 

OML  down,  ye  graybeard  mariners, 

Unto  the  wasting  shore ! 
The  morning  winds  are  up.    The  gods 

Bid  me  to  dream  no  more. 
Come,  tell  me  whither  I  must  sail, 

What  peril  there  may  be, 
Before  I  take  my  life  in  hand, 
And  venture  out  to  sea." 

"  We  may  not  tell  thee  where  to  sail, 

Nor  what  the  dangers  are : 
Lach  sailor  soundeth  for  himself, 

Each  hath  a  separate  star. 
Lach  sailor  soundeth  for  himself: 

And  on  the  awful  sea 
What  we  have  learned  is  ours  alone ; 

We  may  not  tell  it  thee." 

"Come  back,  O  ghostly  mariners, 

Ye  who  have  gone  before ! 
I  dread  the  dark,  impetuous  tides : 

I  dread  the  farther  shore. 
Tell  me  the  secret  of  the  waves ; 

Say  what  my  fate  shall  be — 
Quick !  for  the  mighty  winds  are  up, 

And  will  not  wait  for  me." 

"  Hail  and  farewell,  O  voyager ! 

Thyself  must  read  the  waves : 
What  we  have  learned  of  sun  and  storm 

Lies  with  us  in  our  graves ; 
What  we  have  learned  of  sun  and  storm 

Is  ours  alone  to  know. 
The  winds  are  blowing  out  to  sea, 

Take  up  thy  life  and  go ! "

.HIS  book  is  published 
With  the  belief  that  it  would 
prove  a  good  investment  and 
yet  the  possibilities  of  the 
same  from  an  educational  standpoint  have 
been  borne  in  mind  from  its  inception.  Con- 
sequently in  decorating  the  different  samples 
the  harmony  of  the  paper  and  of  the  example 
selected  has  been  considered,  the  appropriate- 
ness of  the  type  or  design  and  its  color  bal- 
ance and  in  all  ways  the  effort  has  been  to
